OT PGA Championship

Is this all he gets after his 4th major:

Saw the interview with Koepka on Golf Channel this morning about being dared to do a really heavy lift right after a workout the morning of a Sunday round and the interviewer asked something like, "Weren't you worried about exerting yourself that much right before your round?" To which Koepka replied to the effect of, "No, it's only golf. You're not exerting yourself. You're just walking, what, 5 or 6 miles."

That's what I love about him. He basically talks like he doesn't even like golf and thinks golfers are dorks. He wanted to play the other sports but realized golf was where he could make the pros. Everyone thinks he's boring. He doesn't say and do what golf wants him to say and do and he just boringly goes around kicking everyone's butt.

Koepka's last eight majors.

The wind finally made Bethpage into Bethpage for a 4-5 hole stretch. That wasn't Koepka choking as much as it was a bunch of golfers facing a behemoth of a course. As it turns out, he's a cyborg. Not human inside.

Koepka played last three rounds at even par.

Six players under par and one at E. On a course that laid low for 3 1/2 days.

Perhaps you missed the thread the last time he won the PGA - scroll down to the bottom of page 2:

I've been sour on Spieth for past 12-15 months because he has sucked.

After watching Bethpage I'd be tempted to put some coin on him at Pebble Beach for US Open.

Not a long course, greens are minute compared to standard tour greens. Roughage around greens is usually ridiculous.

Of course taking Koepka against the field has a 50% chance of paying off lately.

No, he had 1 bad day. Wasn’t over par until today.

Have to give him props for a decent comeback after yesterday. Was surprised he finished -2, tied for 3rd. I didn’t think it was in him, but he’s still young.

I root for the guy because he already committed to the Travelers.

It’s a strong field again. Hopefully they can add a couple more big names in the next few weeks.

Koepka makes golf boring. He’s a machine playing against men. However, it won’t last forever and someone will come out of nowhere to humanize him sooner or later. I hope that guy is a fist pumping Everyman that brings the crowds. I respect Koepka, but he is sooo boring. I figured DJ would choke, but his run today was the only interesting 90 minutes of the whole tournament.

Varner an ECU grad. AAC pride today?

Love this league

Koepke used to tear up the Seminole golf course when on the team...easy course but he still hit it long and hit a lot of greens.

I watched the team once at the driving range while awaiting my up....he appears to be stronger now than he was in college...

He was an All American...but not what he is now.

He is the placebo in a science experiment.
His best isn't better than the best of several others. He just screws up less often.

Similar to Nick Faldo in his prime.

Sounds like he took a page from Jack’s book.

This may be one of the dumbest statements ever made on this board. He’s won four of the last eight majors. What, because everyone else sucked? When he’s on, he hits it 30 yards past ANYBODY. Has a great wedge game, great short game and can putt w anyone. He may not have Tigers course Managment, but his A game right now is far and away better than anyone else in the game. 4/8 does not happen by accident.

Average score was a +4 in the last round.

Me three hours ago enjoying a break from some boating.

Same view DJ had from the bunker on 18.

That photo is an imposter. Not a beer to be seen.

No, he had 1 bad day. Wasn’t over par until today.

I think he meant -4 on fri, even on sat and +4 on sun.

The Opens were both soaking wet.

Yep re the USO in '02...I was there on Friday and it rained all freaking day, BUT, without wind. I played that course twice in the 80's when I lived in NYC and it was in total disrepair (like most NY muni courses then): No grass on tees, sandless traps, lots of GUR areas, dried out areas on the greens. Even with those conditions the course showed its promise to be a track worthy of pro-play if completely renovated, which, thankfully, they did! And yes, it kicked my butt!
